SANTIAGO (Reuters) – Chile’s environmental regulator has filed a “serious” charge against the Potrerillos copper smelter run by state-miner Codelco, the regulator said in a statement on Monday.
The charge is for an alleged emissions monitoring violation at the smelter, located in the Atacama region, and could lead to sanctions for Codelco.
